How do I add a program to the panel bar along the bottom of the Cinnamon screen? For example, i want to be able to have Filezilla on that bar so I can simply click on an icon and have Filezilla start. Is there a specified directory for such programs?

If you add it to the Menu - you can do the right-click trick outlined above.

To add to the Menu:Right-click Menu > Edit MenuClick a category under "Applications" column on the left, eg. Other, then on the right-side of the window, click "New Item"The "Create Launcher" box opensType in NameIn Command field, you could try just typing in the command filezillaORclick Browse > click File Systemthen look for Filezilla, try:usr > share > applications or usr > binWhen you find it - click it, click Open - it will insert a command in the field

Or just create a panel launcher:Right-click an existing panel icon, eg. FirefoxClick Add"Add panel launcher" box opensType in nameIn Application field, type the command filezilla (or as above, search for the command)Click in Icon field, click the small folder to the right of this field, and navigate to an icon as aboveclick openIn Add panel launcher box, click Add
